Right now, hard to compete with Scotty James! The Australian once again made a completely crazy run, in which he obviously joined a triple, to win the Halfpipe test of X Games for the seventh time. Solid, he further raised his level during the final which brought together the best four to afford a tenth medal in total in the big meeting of freestyle.
In Aspen, Scotty James finally preceded the Japanese Yuto Totsuka and Ayumu Hirano, who must be satisfied with the accessits at the moment. As in Laax last Saturday, the Oceanian boxer was the strongest. He already looks like the big favorite for the Olympic Games in a year.
Mathilde Gremaud Package
Sarah Höfflin was making her debut in competition. The Geneva was playing Knuckle Huck’s test in Buttermilk Mountain’s Park. Medialed a year ago, the Slopestyle Olympic champion in 2018 this time failed to hang the podium, taking the 7th. She had fun but failed to properly tackle all her figures. The event was won by the American Rell Harwood, while the inevitable Alex Hall won among the gentlemen.
-In Big Air snowboard, the Austrian Anna Gasser won a 5th title by beating the Japanese Reira Iwabuchi and the New Zealander Zoi Sadowski-Synnott.
Note also that Mathilde Gremaud, obviously invited, will not ultimately compete for these X Games, according to our information. The Friborg was not a priori injured.
